Greetings, Has anyone managed to build xemacs-21.1.9 with Cygwin-1.1.0 (new net release)? I did a full setup of cygwin's "latest" (contents as of yesterday a.m.) on NT Workstation 4.0 (SP5). Used it to build & install ncurses-5.0 OOTB. (As Charles Wilson reports on <http://cygutils.netpedia.net/V1.1/ncurses-5.0/index.html>;, there was an error message but the installation looks complete.) Then, building xemacs-21.1.9: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs-21.1.9 make proceeds happily until here: ... Loading loadhist.el... Loading loaddefs.el... Loading site-load.el... Bootstrapping from temacs... Purespace usage: 99772 of 1463000 (7% -- 1331k wasted). Compiling /home/starksb/src/xemacs-21.1.9/lisp/auto-autoloads.el... at which point temacs.exe runs indefinitely (well, at least 15 minutes on a PII-400 w/ 128MB) until killed. Task Manager reports that temacs.exe uses 8120K, and this does not grow. There are no other cygwin processes running (just bash), and real-time anti-virus protection is disabled. CYGWIN is not set and mounts are binmode (defaults). I even tried cygwin1-20000426.dll, but no change. I'm inclined to wait for xemacs-21.1.10, due soon I believe, and try again then. (Unless someone has an idea what to look for, in which case I'll provide more details, like cygcheck & strace, if that's thought to be useful here.) Thanks to both teams for your fine efforts.
